Though I would prefer to write a more extensive review of this bad, bad movie, it has made so little impression on me that even now, five minutes after the dvd ended, I remember hardly anything about it. Except, of course, how bad it is.

Admittedly, they started out with a terrible script, and that can’t have helped. But the acting is unconvincing and flat without exception (and it pains me to say that, because I love both Wilson and Connery). The storyline swerves and buckles thanks to a silly and senseless plot. The effects hardly rise above video gaming level, with the shots of underwater Venice as the sad low.

But it is in continuity and editing that the real crimes have been committed upon this film. For continuity there is the – surprisingly brief – Goofs section of the IMDB page for this movie, but the editing deserves special mention. What were they thinking in the cutting room? How about rhythm, smoothness, visual continuity, or at least sequences that make sense, any kind of sense at all?

All in all, a film that deserves to be forgotten. I’m almost there already. What am I writing about again?
